Michelle Charles’ vocation as a pre-school teacher brought her immense joy. She would often say, “I get to be part of building a strong academic foundation in the lives of these young ones.”
But her passion of 28 years came to a sudden halt last year when the COVID-19 pandemic struck, forcing the closure of schools. Now all Charles, 44, has that bears any semblance of a pre-school, are number and word charts that embellish a wall in an area of the house where her lone preschooler is her nephew whom she teaches at the home she now shares with her sister and their seven children.
